How Do You Make Someone's Life Miserable

I can do it! That is the choice to be optimistic.

The mind is what drives our lives.
Nothing is more our of our mind and nothing is more mysterious in its processes.
many memories are hidden in the depths of our brain seemingly lost forever, but ready to emerge in the most unexpected moments?
How many cases we can do towards the future, those dreams, fantasies, how we can create in this brief moment?
How many skill mastered without even realizing, as many as we could if we were able to master the best use of our resources?
There is no time of life when the thought stops, there is no moment where you take rest. Yet its capabilities are far superior to those used by us, far beyond even what we believe.

Respect for this enormous asset that we have, the desire not to waste it, the desire to help those in need, who, for various reasons, can not, by itself, to properly use their resources, us to seek ways of interacting more and more proactive and dynamic, more personalized . The awareness of potential effects on future results
because the individual is changed is that spring to put forward all the necessary resources.
Intelligence is something you can teach.
This is done by driving to observe and to ask questions, inspiring them to compare objects and events, to find connections between seemingly unrelated facts together, leading to use vocabulary correctly and appropriately; encouraging to abstract from the situation that existed at the time for imagine future events or past, or only some possible real or imaginary.
This is done by teaching you to trust in themselves, to assess objectively their successes, to learn from mistakes, to realize that cooperation leads to mutual enrichment, sharing that helps to overcome the difficulties.
This is done through the preparation of an active lifestyle modifying, through mediation, according to Feuerstein, everyone should use if they want to be effective in their intervention.
So you can teach to draw, read and write, to do the math, you can educate the movement, to appreciate music and sport, can be prepared to share experiences with others, you can do the analysis of its past, plan for the future, you can deal with the discomfort, strengthen the personality, all building on the fundamental premise of Feuerstein: full confidence in the modifiability of the human cognitive . A deep belief in recent years has been strongly supported by research in neurophysiology. An evolutionary process
blocked or interrupted by negative events of life can be restarted at any time, provided environmental conditions are favorable and the subject has the opportunity to make appropriate learning experiences. There is no situation in which we might need to stop saying enough, I have nothing to learn, I have no goals to be achieved, there is nothing to be done. There is still a possibility, if we really want.

The choice between different perspectives, to focus their thoughts on the most optimistic is the very essence of mediation.

Feldenkrais was an engineer and physicist, who collaborated with Joliot-Curie in research on subatomic particles, first European to win the black belt Judo expert body human. She was able to connect the discoveries of Pavlov, Freud's theories, knowledge of ethology, biology, psychophysics, physiology and knowledge on posture, body techniques and Eastern martial arts, applications of concepts of physics and engineering to the human structure . His great capacity for synthesis has allowed him to develop a method of intervention on human function that stands out as an example of scientific rigor, educational and therapeutic capacity. Basa, as Feuerstein, his speech on faith in human potential. He possessed, and sent its students to become teachers themselves, the ability to touch the right to bring forth resources hidden in everyone, even in who is severely impaired, because our nervous system is so incredibly rich that allow everyone to learn something new and to improve their conditions.


For a mother who told how her baby, who suffers from cerebral palsy, would be delayed due to a defect in DNA, Feldenkrais had said: "She would be delayed if it had been held nell'ovatta property for ten years without no contact with the outside world except the food. The DNA would be able to make it jump? A well-preserved DNA in the laboratory can endure for centuries, but this could not learn English or Chinese would not even know to be stupid. "

memory

Memory is a necessary element for survival. The neurologist Oliver Sachs argues that it is the memory to ensure that the body adapts and survives in the environment that is constantly evolving. The survival of each organism depends on its memory.


The desire not to depend on objects has always been very strong and vital in a people forced to wander from place to place. What you have in your mind will take you wherever you go, not heavy and does not slow the march if you have to carry. That's why Jews have always known that to protect their traditions had to rely on something that nobody could ever destroy: the memory of every human individual who is part of the collective Jewish memory.

And if the memory is related to a learning situation, ie whether voluntarily preparing the mind to remember information that we need / want to learn, prepare our hearts to do so is a nice trick happy and profitable. In the book "Netivot Hochma" we read: "You can not learn in a place that is unwelcome

study is always in the company, mostly in pairs. Every student has the task of explaining their point of view, to assert their views, highlighting the mental journey done to reach certain conclusions by quotations, examples, comparisons and so on. This not only enhances memory, but it enriches the language (communication tool and thought), increases the need for clear exposition of his logical thinking, enhances the ability to understand the other is to understand their point of view, it is useful to find hooks to make people understand their own.

To remember the best, you must have understood the meaning of what you are storing. Not always aware of aspects of a topic not clear. If we have the impression that he has grasped the general sense we are satisfied, while some details (such as a word, a phrase) is not understood and ignored aspect may change to an entire argument, making it more easily fits on what is already known. But this is not enough, once you understand it is useful to add something personal, opinion, point of view. who manages to bring sth new in the report con quanto ha studiato si sente appagato e quindi ricorda meglio perché c’è qlc di suo. Le innovazioni hanno un grosso impatto sulla mente e sull’immaginazione, ed è l’immaginazione il vero segreto alla base delle tecniche mnemoniche

La memoria è essenzialmente la capacità del nostro spirito di organizzare tutte queste immagini e di richiamarle facilmente e velocemente. Ecco perché per ricordare qlc dobbiamo trasformarla in un’immagine potente e straordinaria.

trasmettere il passato alle generazioni future è la base essenziale per la propria libertà.
abbi fiducia nella tua memoria, conta su di lei ed utilizzala per perpetuare il your past. The future needs of the past, go together hand in hand throughout the history of the Jewish people.
Sometimes there arises the question whether it would be better to forget the facts very sad, raw, violent, distressing .... The Bible (such as psychoanalysis) has an answer for that too. Detereunomio says: "erase the memory of Amalek from under heaven: do not you forget it!" [1] Here is a paradox! We are given two conflicting orders: remembering and forgetting at the same time. This verse answers to your questions about the need to keep alive the most tragic memories: "It is forbidden to forget the bitter past but we must delete le cicatrici in modo da vivere la nostra vita senza il peso di un incontrollabile desiderio di inutile vendetta. Ricorda e dimentica Amalek per vivere una vita sana ed equilibrata.” [2]

Acquire tools and means of self-analysis

useful for inclusion in the report and

You want to introduce the concept of mediation. There is proposed to give "recipes" on how to do for those who work, when to act, where to start, how long to proceed. The ready-made answers do not solve any problem. You want to know and share a way of thinking that is part of the educational intention, reciprocity of the relationship with the mediated (those who use mediation).

The objectives of the Experience Mediated Learning aims are flexible and elastic analysis based on actual needs, but have a common thread: to achieve a better quality of life through the acquisition of a progressive self-awareness.

Being able to observe their children and the environment they live in, with respect, but through a conscious eye to plan interventions, helps parents in their arduous task, even promoting the acquisition of languages \u200b\u200band operating procedures that will allow a more in-depth exchange information with the figures of the external reference.

Does Water Help Pregnancy Cramps



The company danceable, directed by Sabina Smith, arrives at Monfalcone (GO) for the theatrical exhibition EXPRESSIVENESS OTHER '

WEDNESDAY 'November 11 - h 11.15 - 10.30 Theatre MUNICIPAL preceded by another show


"ANOTHER BREACH IN THE WALL"

The show concerns the "convertibility" expressive and emotional elements, made through music, movement, images and the 4 elements: earth, air, water, fire. Simple boxes will initially be used as drums and then as a brick which will be built with the bars of a prison and a wall. We do not know who's in and who out, who on this side and those beyond, if the Company or the public. Each of us is both prisoner and free, able and disabled, same and different. The wall itself may be an element of separation, border, backing and can be painted, demolished, constructed. "Walls" is also the cable that holds fast to the sailing boats in such a way that resists gusts of wind. So the wall of a boat sailing become imaginary, and represent the resilience, the ability to "hold" and in turn limits opportunities of "forward movement" and growth for themselves and for those who around us.
Finally, a circle dance in honor of Hephaestus, the god Vulcan thrown down from Olympus by his mother (as born crippled and deformed) and then became a craftsman so skilled and creative to make him fall in love with the most beautiful goddesses.

The Company was founded in January 2007 on the initiative of Dr. Sabine Bianchi, psychologist, apply the Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment Program and danzamovimentoterapeuta, in collaboration with two groups Genoese Progetto80 Sampierdarena (transport disabled motor spirit) and Echidna (self-help for families of disabled and sick rare). The choice of the name "danceable" wants to make two key concepts: the "feasibility" of integration and the fact that we are all "disabled in the dance" can be overcome the limitations of each and enrichment for all. They are part of the company people with physical and / or mental / sensory and non-disabled people, covering a span of three generations. Last year the company won the competition "Participation and the Common Good" organized by the Municipality of Genoa and debuted in the presence More than 1300 people in a dance show. Currently working with the association a key to the mind and the District Prison of Chiavari. In May 2009, the Company has participated, with the show "Another hole in the wall", the Third National Exhibition "Theater and Disabilities at Rovigo, getting the nomination.


The show is included in the review ESPRESSIVTA OTHER '




Working with and for the weak and, in particular, persons with disabilities or social disadvantage, is continually institutions , services and operators before looking for new ways of intervening more and more able to respond to the needs of people and the need to innovate ways of relating, creating and offering them new opportunities for social integration and active participation.
The theater is in this perspective a "strong" form of communication and expression that "open" to new processes of social relationship. It 'a tool of difficulties, or who experience various forms of discomfort, to express, through the assumption of stage roles and group relations, resources and potential living social relations "equal".
E 'in this context that several years, the Province of Gorizia in collaboration with the CISI with associations of disabled people, with the Institute S. Maria della Pace of Medea, the Health, cultural associations, voluntary associations, the municipalities of Monfalcone, Cormons, Gradisca Isonzo, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Gorizia, is organizing a theater festival called "OTHER EXPRESSIVENESS '"

This review has become an important reference on a regional and national levels, for all those theatrical experiences of the territory involving the "inconvenience". The goals are to help establish the principle of the richness of diversity through the opportunities offered to local theater groups, regional and national authorities to find a space for expression and visibility and to promote a positive image of those moments through the integration exceeds their discomfort artistically and culturally enriching the social context of belonging.
This opportunity offers, to social reality, encouragement of cultural change, a different attitude towards those who find themselves living an uneasy variously problematic, but also brings an artistic and cultural enrichment. The theater
social or social, in fact, according to much of the literary and artistic world, is the process of renewal of the theater for ideas, for expressiveness, for artistic value, and the technical solutions implemented and scenic.
This year the Festival provides an opportunity for interaction and reflection with the people throughout the world and in particular young people.
The Festival brings together a wide range of companies (well 15) that come and work in different areas of discomfort (from disabilities and psychological problems, social exclusion, to the world of hardship and adolescent academic) experiences in different theatrical genres' integration with a variety of modes of expression (music, dance, photography, video images, set design) is home as usual to two theater groups of Slovenian culture. Interesting is the proposal of two companies theater, a scene that will bring Puglia discomfort of violence against women outside the EU, the other local, Gorizia, who play with their proposal won the prize of the National Theatre and Disability. A bill, however, which blend a significant presence of groups of the province (five) with those from the region (two) integrated by the presence of national companies (seven) and a Slovenian.

The review, first of all, who wants to be a time of integration and networking of resources and initiatives taking place in the territory, is accompanied by a series of initiatives that are designed to support a process of cultural awareness.
These are represented by workshops conducted by local services which have in turn acquired a valuable skill training in the theater who are now able to make available to the territory. Particular emphasis should be placed on the fact that they are professionals who come from all areas of services (social welfare, health, educational, public and private) who have trained together and that together across institutional affiliations operate.
Laboratories last a day and are open to anyone interested.
The relationship with the School maintains a special focus on the organization of the review, in the knowledge that the pursuit of the objectives he outlined first of all need a widespread cultural sensitivity from younger generations.
So here is the proposal made to students in a process that involves them actively and directly introduce an approach to these theatrical forms that face better understand the experiences and events that will be proposed. Wishing to be appreciated that the shows presented by the public, a heartfelt thanks goes to those workers, members of associations, volunteers have contributed to its realization. A special thanks to the operators and Erica Vito Dalò Gasparinic of CISI who handled the art direction and the organization and the Consortium as a whole has put in place the conditions che hanno permesso agli stessi di fornire il loro apporto alla Rassegna
